Holly shot...
It is done.
I did not see this coming at the beginning of 2024, and I could not have imagined it ever working out this good. One entry on Hames snowballed into a century spanning story where I take inspiration from (steal) so many of my favorite sci-fi stories and plots. I got to write goofy and emotionally fraught and to mix the two. I got to swap entries with incredibly skilled and also cool and epic writers whose own flavors of writing brought life and variety to the story. Hell, I got to visit cities on different continents which I never would have even considered, but this writing challenge gave me flourishing new friendships and couches to sleep on and just,,,
Fuck Im so grateful.
Thank you Snow for inviting me, and swapping so many entries. Its been genuinely life changing.
